[issue21169] getpass.getpass() fails with non-ASCII characters in prompt

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

I agree that it is not a bug if the device where the prompt is shown simply does not support the characters; on Unix, this includes cases where the locale does not support the characters.

Arfrever: when you say that it fails in Python 3 in a non-UTF-8 locale, which specific locale was that that it failed in?
